Ah, Found this How To French Polish Furniture (How to Guides and Projects) | Liberon wood cares and products. Thank you all for the help, sorry about the confusion, apologies for my Chemo-brain too. It isn't what it used to be. 'Non sum qualis eram

Sorry guys lost in translation. I am not using flakes. It is too complicated for me. I have some Liberon French-Polish in a bottle. I was wondering after I've sealed the wood how much Liberon do I use to Meths. Is it 50/50 or what? And when I am happy with the piece what are the finishing...

Thanks so much for the help. I've terrible memory loss and when I think I've remembered, there it goes again. I am trying to find out once sealed the ratio pure Liberon to meths I use when FP wood and what to do at the end. Problem is I am always up late because I cannot sleep through the pain...

OK Thank you

Can anyone please help?

Hi everyone and seasons greetings A question on ratios. When starting French polishing on a piece of wood, a jewellery box, what is the process? Do you use neat FP or mix with Meths and if so at what ratios? I am a little confused as to what to do. I am using Rustins FP. Thanks so much

Thank you, everyone, certainly a lot to go on there. I have asked him what he wants. He uses my Milwaulkee Combi drill and impact driver. Makita SDS and Makita smaller drill. My Makita sanders and other bits I have but understandably wants and needs his own. Oh, he also has an Evolution Sliding...

I never thought of a track saw. It makes sense really and they're safer to use. He is due money too from his Gran and I am giving him some of my gear also. I have a set of plastic-handled Marples to give him and a Makita drill. I could put his Grans money to mine and get him a better track saw...

Hello I want to buy my son a circular saw for Christmas. I have a budget of around £250. He is just getting into carpentry and is making a shed soon. I have narrowed it down to three models, two are 240v and one battery. It will be used at home only. For the Milwaulkee I already have the...

I have IPA 99% in. My wife used it for wiping down things I touched on chemo (remotes, light switches) to prevent me from infection. I will use that. Thank you

I've looked for Methyl but cannot seem to find 5L. I get IPA and Methylated spirits. I think I am looking at the wrong stuff

mrpercysnodgrass Thank you so much. For some reason I didn't see this yesterday. Thank you

.I didn't know there was so much to Shellac. I bought some Rustins and another brand. I'd really like to have a go at making my own so I can do different types, clocks etc in differing colours. I noticed too, Will on The Repair Shop used powders to mix with his shellac to obtain the right...

Thank you guys I appreciate that.

Nice chair! I have asked him on Insta and Twitter but got no reply. He doesn't reply to many people. Where can I buy different colours of shellac? I fancied making it but as suggested probably best to buy it at first until I find my feet. I went to my local B&Q and they only had one very small...

@mrpercysnodgrass It is Series 5 Episode 30 The Syrian Chair. He uses this polish a lot and always paints it on. AJB Temple Yes, Steve and Suzie are brother and sister. They all have their own shops businesses and metalwork, some woodwork and art conservation is removed to their respective...

Is it best to make your own Shellac? I see the flakes on eBay, do you just put some in meths and mix the colour you want? Sorry for another ?

Thank you, everyone. He applied it by brush then buffed it up so could be shellac. Yes, the BBC don't like showing what products are being used but for novices who don't know the names or brands it would be useful. Thanks for the replies, I appreciate them
